3×80

3×80 is a numerical expression representing the product of the integers 3 and 80. In mathematics, the × symbol denotes multiplication, and the expression can be read as “three times eighty.”

Value and calculation: 3×80 = 240. This follows from basic arithmetical rules: 3×80 = 3×(8×10) = (3×8)×10 = 24×10 = 240. Since multiplication is commutative, 80×3 equals the same value.

Numeric representations: In base-10, the result is 240. In other numeral systems, 240 decimal equals 0xF0 in hexadecimal, 0b11110000 in binary, and 0o360 in octal.

Factorization and properties: Prime factorization of 240 is 2^4 × 3 × 5; it is divisible by many integers. It can also be expressed as the product 3×8×10 or as (3×80), illustrating the associative and distributive properties of multiplication.

Applications and context: As a simple product, 3×80 can model repeated quantities, such as three groups of eighty items, or a three-by-eighty rectangular area. The computation is foundational in basic arithmetic education and underpins more advanced operations in algebra and number theory.
